Jesus

I just shared this,
of all places,
on Facebook.

It's that aha! moment
when something crystalizes
in these dark times.

People don't need
the Lord of Bliss...
not yet.
They will, but not yet.

In these dark times,
what they need right now,
is the God of Golgatha.

Here it is:

People don't want me;
they want Jesus.
So I will dare to show you Jesus.
How can you live 
if you don't love to suffer?
"Take and eat my Body
and you will have strength
to love your crucifixion."
How can you love at all
if you always live in fear?
"This is the chalice of my Blood
which is poured out for you.
For you. 
I am not afraid to die for you.
My Blood will give you courage -
the courage to love."
This is not me!
I can't step up to the plate.
But he did.
That is Jesus.

call me johnny

Call me Mr. Johnny. I'm a johnny on the spot. I buy some cookies, daily, and give them to the poor. Some people save their lives while I just give them cookies. I don't see why not. The poor don't seem to mind. I also have a demon. I call him Mr. Bitter. I used to call him Superman. But now, I just ignore him, at least, the best I can. It's bad inside his fantasy, and I'm no demonologist. I'm way too simple for that, and so, I just buy cookies. Am I very friendly? Not exactly, no. I don't stay and chat. I just hand out cookies. I guess I have a purpose. It's true it often changes. Sometimes it's five dollars, but, for now, it's cookies. I even have some cigarettes, if cookies aren't your thing. Some homeless ask for both.

God's mercy

What an attack it was, the attack that happened yesterday. This morning, it soon resumed, before I had my coffee. That's pretty freaking early. I tried an approach which helped. Demons are messengers; angel means 'messenger.' If the angel is good, it only reports the truth, and then it goes away. If the angel is bad, it stays and stays and stays, feeding you half-truths and lies. My approach: tell on the messenger. The demon would speak it's message, and I would relay it to Mary. I have a Marian shrine with magnets on my fridge. So I would 'speak' to the fridge. Any word from the demon was reported straight to Mary no matter how sick it was. Get that venom out! Don't hold that poison inside. No matter how evil the message, I transferred the burden to her. It works. I told on the demon, and Mary heard it all. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Undeterred, they continued while I attended the Mass. It's cheap - you try to stay open to receive the grace of God ...

justice

There can be an awful karma to demon justifications, all their rationalizations for why the do what they do (to you). But karma isn't true - it isn't really justice according to a priest. Justice is a virtue, and virtues build you up, and make you happy, healthy. They don't tear you down. That's what demons do, whenever they're around (which is all too often). Yes, yes, we speak of justice as like a bloody sword. To some extent that's true. But justice is a virtue, and virtues aren't destroyers. I was glad to hear the priest. He taught me something new. Justice is a virtue. It's not what demons do to you.
